How to Clean a Bronze Shower Fixture

Bronze is a metal alloy made from a combination of copper and zinc or other metals. It's often used to make faucet and shower fixtures because of its durability and resistance to tarnish and rust. Bronze shower fixtures vary in finish and color, but they all require gentle cleaning products to keep them free from mineral buildup and residue.
